https://x.com/StevePetyerak/status/1844177610089300404?t=-1bVNg4O1azsv1beNafBKw&s=19 Port Charlotte from an hour ago, it's likely getting worse now.
-
Naples
-
Insane rain rains between Brandon and Tampa.
-
On top of the winds at SPG, they also recorded over 5 inches of rain in the last hour. That's an insane hourly rainfall rate.
-
Tampa international now gusting to 82 mph. St Petersburg must be north of 90.
-
Some impressive velocities over Anna Maria Islands.
-
Punta Gorda (well south of the center) gusting to 79 mph.
-
These are awesome, thanks so much. Gusting to 93.2 mph now.
-
The worst surge is usually a fair deal south and east of the center (and people sometimes forget to account for the size of the eye in that equation) and for Milton will probably be from Venice to Port Charlotte. Though we'll see what happens in Sarasota once the wind shifts direction. On a related note, Sarasota airport recorded its first hurricane force gust a few minutes ago.
-
Recon pass just now still shows a formidable storm. Pressure held fairly steady from the previous mission (in the mid to high 940s) with flight level winds of 110 knots. Edit: Dropsonde supports 952 mb.
-
Winds increasing now along the coast with Venice airport gusting to 68 mph (with multiple other ASOS sites near St Petersburg now gusting north of 60 mph).
-
Inner eyewall is pretty much gone now and a larger one has taken over. It's still fairly week and open to the south and southwest so we'll see if it can fully wrap around and slow the weakening a bit.
-
With the way models are trending, areas from Siesta Key to Port Charlotte should get the worst surge. It's not Tampa, but that is a very populated stretch of coastline.

This is the most simultaneous flash flood emergencies I've ever seen.
-
Looks like the extrapolated pressure is still dropping slightly. We'll see in the next dataset, but it might go below 940 mb.
-
Looks to be headed due north now
-
If colder cloud tops wrap around the southern part of the eye, we are probably looking at pressure readings in the 930s
-
137 knots in the eastern eyewall (FL)
-
Flight level winds now 97 knots in the western side of Helene as recon approaches the eye, that's a marked increase from precious recon missions and shows that the storm is a bit more symmetrical now.
-
70 mph gust was just recorded in downtown St Petersburg with some of the outer bands moving through now. Not bad considering the storm's distance from them.
-
Granted it's extrapolated, but that indicates some significant deepening between passes.
-
That's impressive
